Lets say you run a charity and want an email address as the primary contact on your website/cards/publications 

So far I've thought of. admin@.... info@... contact@.... but wondered if anyone had any better suggestions 

Hello

So I have a family member who’s 40, and is a chef, has been promoted to a role where they would like her to start using Excel, Word, Outlook to manage orders and crap like that 

She can do some basic stuff, sending and replying to emails, editing values in a spreadsheet etc. However doesn’t feel confident with these programs.

TLDR: I was wondering if anyone could recommend an online beginners course for Microsoft Office (excel, outlook, word)

Hi

I have 3 monitors, two 27" main monitors which I want my full taskbar to be displayed on and one 21" side monitor that I keep chats/calls open on. I'm wondering if I can have my main taskbar (with lots of pinned items) on my main monitor and the third monitor have either A. Only the tabs on that monitors B. Custom programs I can select (skype, teamspeak, discord, spotify etc) or if needs be C. All open programs

Thanks

Just drop the photos into Google Photos, they will sync upload over a few days automatically, and once it is done, it is done. Backed up forever.

After that you will only be adding a few photos at a time, and now they are super easy to share with friends and family.

 

I can see the initial pain in it though, especially if your internet is not excellent.

Like 0.5 mbps upload

@GrayFox1991 I think I don't want to have to do is upload 30GB of pictures to google drive!

However I know that is probably the best thing to do with them

Oh joy, Grandad wants a new laptop so I need some help!

Price Bracket; Upt to £350 

He uses his computer two-three times a day for maybe half an hour each time, to check emails, do banking and mainly keep his 30GB of pictures up to date. He is always complaining his current 2007 PC is too slow and he would possible like a laptop?

So I'm looking for laptops or possibly desktops (if you can find booth then brilliant)

My thoughts so far(feel free to suggest differently)

- Intel i3 or above

- 4GB RAM or above 

- 128GB SSD

- Win 10

Am looking to buy from somewhere like PC World, Argos, Tesco etc

Please help!

So yeah before I watch it has anyone else watched it and is it any good?

@mckendry1011 he isnt banned and the audio settings shouldnt affect him as he cant connect to any server

@mckendry1011 everyone apart from this guy can

So my friend uses a Mac with OS X most recent on it and has been trying to connect to my teamspeak server for a few weeks now. He's tried on different networks and in different countries but it just says failed to connect to server

Client log:

we tried moving teamspeak to the trash and deleting it's config files but it still happens 

@Kierax thank you so much I've been looking for a notebook like that for myself as well, now we can get two of them

Hope this helps a bit.  Getting an SSD in that budget is going to be a stretch, and you will have to give up other areas of the specs.

Thanks! First one is to overkill.

I could really do with the SSD

Any on amazon? I'm looking for like a HP/Asus no hassal

So a four hundred pound laptop to send emails. righttttt..

That's the budget! I'm looking for any suggestions under 300 would be preferable

Why SSD? And you only need an i3 with 4GB RAM for that sort of stuff.

They requested fast boot and load times

So today I got asked by my parents to find them a new laptop. They complain that their current 2009 one is too old.

What I'm looking for is

• under £300,
• intel core i3
• SSD (doesnt need to have lots of space)
• Windows 10 (can upgrade from 8 if needed)
• 4GB+ RAM

They use the laptop once or twice a week for word processing, emails, internet stuff you can't do on an iPad and mainly iTunes

Any recommendations?

Thats my problem. SSD+Ur budget+Windows is a job for the used marked. There are only chromebooks regarding to your price.

I can live without SSD if you can find any others

Hmm would ideally like windows if there are any for the budget

• Intel Processor ideally
• Budget £300

Must be in pounds!!!!! ££££

@BrightCandle hi, what IO?

Could it be the fact I only have 2GB of RAM? When the server only has me on task manager is using 60-70% Memory?

Hi I have a VPS (dual core for Arma with 2GB RAM) and am trying to run a small Arma training server for under 10 people. I run a gamemode called Altis life but after 5 or so minutes with 5-8 people on the server suddenly stops responding it says 'Arma stopped responding...' How should I fix this it runs fine on other game modes like a sandbox but on Altis life it crashes

I'm not entirely sure but NAT is suppose to translate IPv6 addresses into IPv4. If your internal network is entirely IPv4 and your public IP is IPv6 you should be able to connect just fine. If Google is only giving you a IPv4 address you should be able to use that just the same. IPv6 has less overhead than IPv4 but performance wise I don't think you would notice a difference.

 

I'm willing to bet you cannot get any incoming connections due to the messed up port number. Unfortunately I cannot instruct you on how to change it but when requesting a connection to the server make sure that:

Whatever protocol(s) you're using is/are enabled on the server

Make sure the routers inbound port matches the port you're using and that the local port matches what's configured on the server.

Make sure you're connecting to your Public IPv4 address

Make sure the router is pointing to the static IPv4 address of the server.

Check your routers firewall settings. Router firewall settings can reject certain protocols such as ones required for online game operation.

 

You mentioned MySQL Database, are you also using this as a file server?

Arma 3 server, I'm trying to setup am web admin panel but it can't connect to my MySQL Databse. So you don't think the IP will be causing the problem? Any idea how I can find out how to change the MySQL port? How do I make sure the ports are enabled? They are forwarded and pointed at the local IP of the server  is there anything else I need to do inside MySQL to allow connections.
